Analysis

The analysis of the SIV involves examining the test results in order to better understand an individual’s interpersonal values and how these may influence their behavior and relationships. The participants’ responses are analyzed and categorized to reveal their dominant values and preferences. The analysis can be used to identify areas of conflict or compatibility in professional or personal relationships and to provide guidance for improving interpersonal communication and cooperation.

Objective

The main objective of the SIV is to provide a structured and objective assessment of an individual’s interpersonal values. This information can be applied in various contexts, such as career counseling, personal development, improvement of interpersonal relationships, and human resource management. The SIV helps users to better understand themselves and others, promoting collaboration and understanding.

Calibration

The calibration of the SIV is carried out through statistical analysis of data from large and diverse populations in order to ensure the reliability and validity of the instrument. Calibration includes calculating the means and standard deviations for each scale, as well as developing standard scores (norms) for different demographic groups. This allows for the accurate comparison of an individual’s results with those of the general population.
